The Extra host doesn't deny it when Ellen DeGeneres brings up rumor about his possibly becoming the new male co-host on 'Live! with Kelly and Michael'.

AceShowbiz - Mario Lopez sparked rumor that he might replace Michael Strahan to be Kelly Ripa's new co-host on the new chapter of "Live! with Kelly and Michael". "That's very flattering. Very flattering. You're so nice," the Extra star said during his visit to "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" when the female host asked him about it.

"I know, people were saying that. I love Kelly. I've guest-hosted with her a few times - she's awesome. I actually did a movie with her husband, Mark [Consuelos], who's a real good guy," he added. When Ellen DeGeneres pressed him, he replied, "I'm looking forward to going back and guest-hosting again."

"And then maybe you'll be the replacement?" DeGeneres continued. "I'm not starting rumors. You're not shutting it down. You're not saying, 'Absolutely not,' " Indeed, Lopez didn't debunk it. Instead, he said, "Well, I got to go over everything with Mrs. Lopez. She's the real boss of the house, so we'll see what she has to say about that."
